A private, wooded home in Emerald Isle, NC, 5th row from the beach (5 min walk)

Open floor plan on the top floor with a half bath, kitchen with two eat-in islands, dining and living room. Lots of natural light with ceiling to floor windows and an upper deck to take in the tree tops. Kitchen has pots and pans (including a crock pot), two coffee makers (including a Keurig), plates, cups, eating utensils all provided and a dishwasher for convenient clean-up.
On the middle floor - three bedrooms (queen; queen; full and twin), a bonus room (full), and two spacious full bathrooms with two sinks each. The en-suite bathroom has a shower and a jetted tub for soaking and relaxation. Two decks - one in the front and one in the back off the main bedroom. The main bedroom closet has an ironing board and iron for your convenience. Floor to ceiling windows in the bonus room let you observe our local wildlife - deer, turtles, birds. A box fan is also available. Three of the rooms have TVs.
The ground floor has a laundry room with provided laundry detergent and dryer sheets, garage-turned-game-room with a ping pong table and darts, cornhole, bikes and helmets for your use, balls for soccer and volleyball, boogie boards and sand toys for your use, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach.

What a great spot! We planned a really last minute stay and our first at the point. It did not disappoint. The home was great. Had lots of built in activities even with rain all day! The quick access was much better than the long walk we didn’t first day. Home owners and hosts were great. We would 100% stay again.!

The house was very clean and was stocked with all the amenities you could need. The walking trail to the beach worked perfectly and provides shade if you’re hauling a lot of stuff. Biljana was amazing to deal with and I would definitely consider booking this place again!

Beautiful home in excellent location

This was a perfect family vacation spot. The house is beautiful and spotlessly clean but best of all is the location! Short, easy walk to the beach and the beach was not crowded at all. Thank you Biljana for opening up your beautiful home. Our kids are already asking when we can come back and stay in the exact same house.

This place was perfect for us. The house was very clean and the host was super responsive. The beach is just a short shaded walk away and the neighborhood was very quiet. We enjoyed the ping pong table and dart board in the garage on rainy days. Overall it was a great experience!
